The Man In Rage novel Chapter 1034

"Miss Qiu, I'm sorry. I'm just doing my job."

Shock had Qiu Mu-Cheng and Su Qian frozen to the spot. They had not yet recovered from what the mayor had just said.

With his hands behind his back, Wu Wei-Tao simply sneered, then barked out an order. "Seal the place!"

A few of his men stepped forward and plastered a huge seal on the mansion's door.

The mansion was now confiscated property.

"Haha! What did I tell you, Miss Qiu? Justice is meant to keep the weak down. Laws and rules apply only to the powerless. But I'm powerful and above the law. News of you being chased out of your mansion will spread all over Jiangdong tomorrow. Everyone will know that the era of Mufan Group has come to an end. The glorious days of Mr Chu have come to an end. The only voice that matters in Jiangdong will be mine!" Lu Ming-Feng's laughter cut through the low roar of the evening wind.

Atop Mount Yunding, trees shook violently and leaves rustled and were ripped from their branches.

Qiu Mu-Cheng's face paled when she heard Lu Ming-Feng's smug words.

She whirled around, stared at Lu Ming-Feng and Xur Shao-Hua, then turned her eyes towards Wu Wei-Tao and his men.

"You're all in it together, aren't you?" she whispered.

She would be an idiot if she still couldn't see what was going on.

Wu Wei-Tao did not reply her question. He simply smiled politely. "Miss Qiu, Mr Chu is dead. His time has passed. You should move on."

His mild tone carried a hint of laughter and mockery.

It was clear that Wu Wei-Tao still remembered how Ye Fan had spurned the mayor's attempts at gaining his favor.

Wu Wei-Tao had done everything in his power to ingratiate himself with Ye Fan and had even gone to the extent of disregarding his status and paying a personal visit to Ye Fan's residence.

But Ye Fan had ignored him entirely and humiliated Wu Wei-Tao with his utter disinterest.

How the tides have turned!

Ye Fan's time had passed and Wu Wei-Tao had seized the opportunity to exact revenge for the humiliation that Ye Fan had inflicted upon him.

As the saying went, when the mighty fell, the mob would fall upon him too.

That seemed like an apt description for what was going on right now.

Wu Wei-Tao had pledged his allegiance to Lu Ming-Feng and Xur Shao-Hua. There was nobody who could help Qiu Mu-Cheng now.

A pale-looking Qiu Mu-Cheng stared at the mansion that had become confiscated property. She stumbled as her knees gave way and nearly collapsed onto the ground.

"Mu-Cheng, are you alright? You're scaring me. Mu-Cheng?" The bloodless look on Qiu Mu-Cheng's face terrified Su Qian.

She raced towards her friend and held her upright.

Nothing could be worse than losing everything. Su Qian was worried that Qiu Mu-Cheng wouldn't be able to survive the devastation of her repeated losses.

"Come on, Mu-Cheng, let's go. We'll get the house back sooner or later. We'll file charges against them tomorrow and appeal to the provincial courts if the city courts reject our claims. But we need to make sure that you're alright before we take the fight to them."

Su Qian knew very well that they weren't going to get the house back.

But there was nothing she could do about it. All she could do was bring Qiu Mu-Cheng away with her.

Just as they were about to leave, Xur Shao-Hua, who had been standing silently at one corner, suddenly stepped forward and stood in their path.

"You have the house. Isn't that enough? Get out of our way," yelled Su Qian furiously at the man.

Xur Shao-Hua paid her no attention. His eyes fell on Qiu Mu-Cheng's bloodless face instead.

"I feel a strange kinship with Miss Qiu. It's a beautiful evening. Would you be so kind as to have a few drinks with me? We could spend the evening gazing at the stars," Xur Shao-Hua said with a soft laugh and a devilish curl to his lips.
